Consultation has concluded


Austin residents helped redraw the city council district boundaries.

Background

Austin has a process for residents to redraw the boundaries of the council districts every ten years. The boundaries of the council districts greatly impact Austin’s government and will shape how residents are represented for the next decade.

Public involvement

The 14 member Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) redrew the 10 City Council Districts based on 2020 Census data and three rounds of public input. First, twelve public forums were held in the ten City Council Districts to gather the first round of public input from July - August 2021. Second, five forums were held in the four Travis County Precincts from September - October 2021 to gather a second round of public input. Finally, citizens had three more opportunities to view and provide input on the final draft of the map before the ICRC voted to certify the map in October.
